There are two in the Lone-Star Statethat helps animals in need and we wanted to help you plan your Halloween activitieswell in advance. There may be others and if we missed a few please leave us a comment and send me an email so we can update this story! Both of these are in Dallas.

We'd love to see some pics so don't forget to share on Facebook and tag us! What we loved learning when researching haunted houses for this post, is that the OLDEST haunted house in Texas is on this list. It looks scary as hell.

These folks help the homeless animals at the Streets to Sheets Animal Rescue. This is from their site and I'm already terrified. They say this is an actual site of a murder-suicide in the early 1900s.

"One night the Sharps were throwing a party for friends. During the festivities they plotted a revenge. They poisoned the liquor and finished off the surviving party goers with farm implements and cooking equipment. The dead were left where they fell amongst upturned furniture. Some were poisoned, some mutilated, and some were even dismembered and burned in the living room fireplace."

Any Halloween haunted houses that help animals find forever homes win big time! The haunted attractions at these two look terrifying so you won't be disappointed.

Are you planning to go to a haunted house this year? Please let us know in the comments.
